A gift to Emma’s House today will be matched up to $5,000 by the Tom Evan’s Foundation. We are almost 1/2 way to our goal!

What is a CAC? A Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) is a safe, child-friendly facility that offers coordinated support for children who have faced abuse or neglect. Its goal is to minimize trauma by providing essential services in a comfortable environment.

What we provide.
1. Forensic Interviews: Our professionally trained forensic interviewers conduct neutral forensic interviews with children in a safe, warm environment and make a child feel as comfortable as possible to determine what may have occurred.

2. Medical Exams: Our specially trained nursing staff provides gentle and considerate medical exams specific to child abuse allegations.

3. Crisis Intervention and Counseling: Our team of counselors provides crisis intervention and counseling for children and their families following an incident, for as long as they need.

Together we can help heal children and their families.
